    First one might be Abelia.

    Abelia have glossy ovate leaves. I think the first one is Weigela.

    Thank you, Tyrlych! Now I remember the fuzzy things on the stems of Kolkwitzia, which are very visible at the bottom right of the first photo. Weigela does not have those, a very easy distinction. The leaves look different to me as well now. I think the photo I used as reference was incorrectly named, as I was impressed by how well the leaves matched.
